Summer Nights @ the Rodeo

  Saturday nights are for rodeos. After the rain/ storm finally passed, we got to enjoy the rodeo.  Not too sure what Irene thought, but I think we all enjoyed it.

More late summer fun...

  From the sunflower photos to an evening at the river- these kiddos have fun no matter where they're at and what they are doing.

First day of school for my girls

 Rylee and Irene started school on Wednesday.  Rylee enjoyed being back with all her friends, but I think Irene may have felt a little overwhelmed. I hope these two have the best year and make memories that will last a lifetime!

Cades Cove

 Sunday evening we went and rode around Cades Cove in hopes to find some bear and well..... we did just that!

We got our girl...

      After months of waiting we finally got to meet Irene in person and give her lots of hugs.  She has been here a little less than a week and we have already done so many things and made lots of memories together. She has adjusted well and is learning English better than I thought.  We could not have chosen a more perfect girl to join our family for a year.
